Guild Wars necros have never summoned straight up skeletons & zombies.
Besides the fact that regular zombies/skeletons are rather boring imo, it also makes it easier for a necromancer to keep visually keep track of his/her minions while fighting skeleton/zombie type undead, this breaks down when fighting shades with a shadow fiend, but I digress.
The other original reason for necros not having humanoid skeleton/zombie minions is that in GW1 minions had to be animated from the corpses of fallen enemies or allies. So to make it more believable and save on art assets it was decided to have minions be nonspecific conglomerations of flesh and bone so that way you wouldn’t wonder how the heck you pulled a human skeleton out of that dead charr or drake or w/e.Applying this second reason to GW2 still makes a bit of sense in that nonspecific minions keep necros from being too “Human based”. I mean there would come a point a lot of players would ask, why does my charr only summon human skeletons? Wouldn’t charr skeletons look more awesome and fitting?
Don’t know what rock you’ve been living under my friend but go and play the necromancer in diablo 2 and you’ll probably have the most fun your going to ever have as a necromancer.
I don’t think Anet spent more than 5 minutes working on the necromancer
